CHSCP: Group A/B/C - Safer Recruitment Training

Aim of the course:

Safer Recruitment is to ensure that staff and volunteers working with children and young people have been suitably checked to deter unsuitable applicants working with these vulnerable groups.

By the end of the course delegates will:

• understand the scale of the problem – abused and abuser,
• have reviewed a model to understand abusers,
• have an understanding of the application into a wider children’s workforce context,
• consider policies and practice that minimise opportunities for abuse and/or ensure its prompt reporting
• know how to review their policies and practice in recruitment with a view to creating a safer culture
• identify the key features of staff recruitment that help deter or prevent the appointment of unsuitable people, and
• gain knowledge surrounding the ongoing culture of vigilance.

A Note about Groups:

• Group A training is for people who are in contact with or work regularly with children and young people and with their parents/carers
• Group B training is for people who work regularly with children and young people and adults who are parents/carers and may have particular responsibility for safeguarding children
• Group C training is for designated safeguarding leads and managers in organisations employing staff to work with children and families or with responsibility for commissioning or delivering services.

This course is for colleagues that fall into groups A, B and C.
